Six months ago, we partnered with a food and beverage manufacturer based in North Carolina. Due to rapid market growth and rising product demand, they needed help expanding their workforce with precision on a tight timeline. Here’s what they told us:
📌 We need to expand our engineering department by 30%.
📌 We need 1 Maintenance Manager, 1 Maintenance Manager, 3 senior engineers and 7 technicians.
📌 We can’t settle for candidates who aren’t technically qualified or a true cultural fit.
📌 We have 3-6 months before this goes beyond mission-critical.
The challenge was clear: scale rapidly while finding top-tier, specialized talent. We know from experience that balancing volume with precision is no small feat.
Enter our recruitment team, led by Michael. Here’s how we tackled it:
✏️ We crafted a tailored recruitment plan, knowing these matters require a calculated and precise approach.
✏️ We scheduled a myriad of interviews, ensuring candidates met both technical and cultural criteria along with industry knowledge.
✏️ Despite the difficulty, we secured senior-level talent before finalizing the technician team.
In less than four months, we successfully expanded their engineering department, playing a pivotal role in the growth of the company. We are now their preferred recruiting firm, fulfilling their staffing needs nationwide.
Here are some significant stats from the project:
☑️ We submitted the winning candidate for a Manufacturing Engineer within four days.
☑️ We placed a Controls Engineer within two months.
☑️ We filled the Maintenance Manager role in less than three weeks.
☑️ For Maintenance Techs, we’ve submitted 28 candidates, with 18 interviews and 8 offers since mid-December.
Our work impacts the trajectories of businesses and the careers of those behind them. That’s why we’re always committed to placing the right people in the right seats, ensuring future success for all.
